"We had Garage For You build us a detached garage. It turned out great. Ivona handled the permitting process and got the necessary surveys done quickly. The concrete was done quickly and they were clean. The carpenters were fussy about materials used and paid attention to the little things that made it a great job. I would highly recommend Garage For You for your garage needs."

"Stop looking for a concrete leveling company and use Peter and his crew at Concrete Hero. They are kind people, expert tradesmen, and equally great communicators. From my first interaction with Peter, he listened to my objectives, suggested a cost effective course of action, and set out a clear timeline for completion. The crew arrived on-time, were careful with my property, and checked in at various points to ensure my expectations were being met. I am so pleased to have found a partner for this project who treated my home (and my checkbook) as their own."

"After looking around for four years and interviewing a number of companies, we decided to go with Rob at First Choice Builders and we are very glad we did. From the beginning, he listened to us about our vision for the basement and laid out a fantastic design that included elements that both my wife and I were looking for. While he was not the cheapest bid, he was reasonable in price, very highly rated on Angie's list and we loved the basement that he completed for another customer. As a result, we decided to go with him. <br /> Rob is very good at communicating with his customers, and was patient and thorough when talking with us about his timeline and what he needed from us. So important was good communication to him that he fired two sub-contractors that he had used in the past because they were not responsive to our phone calls or his. I was very impressed in this respect. <br /> He got started framing out the basement relatively quickly and the work progressed at a good pace. He regularly showed up when subcontractors were in to both check their work and make sure we were happy. The basement was also left as clean as could be reasonable expected at the end of each day. <br /> Rob and Mike found several serious problems with the house that were only evident after the work began. Rob was very good about showing us the problems (improperly supported I beam in the basement and moldy wood under the siding because of a lack of proper flashing) and helped us decide on the appropriate fix while trying to stay within the budget. They then made the repairs, showing us along the way what they were doing. <br /> After building a custom entertainment center, Rob and Mike helped hang the TV and hook up the components. They even brought in a cleaning service to clean up the basement and the main level when everything was done. <br /> They helped us anticipate issues and solve them before they became a problem. Their design suggestions were top notch, they were trustworthy and courteous and they earned my trust (which is not always easy). Best of all though, their work was fantastic and I believe that they deserve the title "Craftsmen." <br /> If you are thinking about having work done, call them in for an interview, you will not regret it! <br />"

"In my 64 years on this planet, I have overlooked the building of two homes from the ground up, three complete renovations of 1920s era apartments in Chicago, and now renovations of 1880s buildings in Chicago. So I am not new to construction or the challenges associated with building and remodeling, especially the unique hurdles to be faced in older buildings. Needless to say, I have been exposed to good and bad contractors. Given my background, I must say that Wally and his team at Chicagoland Remodeling were exceptional in every way. First off, Wally above all is an honest, hard working individual. Always a smile on his face, you can count on him to do his very best every day and will insist that the work be done as if it were his own home. He has an eager to please attitude. He is joined by his very capable assistant Izabela, who makes sure that the job runs as efficiently as possible. The tradesmen are old world artisans who take pride in their work. For the two jobs they worked on, involving kitchens and bathrooms, there was a very tight timeline, and WALLY and Izabela worked very hard to make sure the tradesmen showed up on time and worked efficiently without a missed beat. We made our deadlines successfully. What’s more, Wally was mindful of cost, often giving me honest advice on pricing. The overall cost of the renovations were on target and reasonable. Without hesitation, I would recommend WALLY and his team at Chicagoland Remodeling to do a superb job at a reasonable cost. The added plus is working with WALLY, who always showed upon the job with a smile on his face and a positive can-do attitude."

"<p> They performed several projects for me.</p> <br /> <br /> <p> The first project was about 13 years ago and the last 2 years ago.<br /> <br /> </p> <p> I have had excellent experience with Herman & McCarrin Construction and would highly recommend them.</p> <p> </p> <br /> <br /> <p> </p> <p> I don't remember specifics but item #3 was under $2,000 and the others were $10's of thousands.</p> <p> </p> <br /> <br /> <p> </p> <p> They would be the first company that I would call for any construction project.</p> <p> </p>"

"We lost our detached garage in an emotionally charged fire in March of this year. We needed to rebuild as quickly as possible. We searched for garage builders and very few wanted to even show up. Some would only give estimated proposals by email. When a neighbor told us about Steele and Loeber we made a call. Brian showed up the next day personally and walked through the entire build with us. We trusted him so much we signed the contract on the spot. The pricing was reasonable, but the service was great! Brian kept us informed every step of the way. The people doing the concrete, the building and the electrical were quality and willing to communicate. The outcome was superb, and we were thrilled with the garage."

"It went fantastic. We hired Steve to remodel the basement/storage units of our condo building. They installed new drywall on the walls, updated the lighting, installed individual storage units and finished the floor. Steve and his men were professional to work with, reliable, cleaned up after themselves, were completed on time and respectful and responsive throughout the entire process. All members of the association were happy with the work and we would all use Steve and his men again in the future."

"Vince and Tony just completed a large deck rebuild for us. They were amazing to work with the throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and precision is remarkable. Vince would stop periodically and ask us to come out and take a look at things to 1) make sure we liked it 2) see if we wanted to tweak the design at all 3) suggest edits to the materials/plan. Each time Vince suggested a new idea, we agreed with his feedback. Each evening before they left, they were sure to tidy up the space and even pressure wash the deck occasionally throughout the process to wash away mud left from rainy weather. It's clear Vince and Tony value and take pride in their work. The job completed is top notch. No corners were cut, no short cuts were taken. Our deck is gorgeous. We can't wait to have Shala Construction back to assist with other upgrades around our home."

FAQs for garage building service projects in Berkeley, IL

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.

Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.

Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
